I would try creating the filesets, and assigning them id's. Then you
could pass
in the id as a paramter to a function, and do your stuff:
<fileset id="abc" .. >
...
</fileset>
<target name="delete_fileset">
<delete>
<fileset refid="${filesetid}" />
</delete>
</target>
<target name="test">
<antcall target="delete_fileset">
<parameter name="filesetid" value="abc" />
</antcall>
</target>
I'm not entirely sure this will work. But it's worth a try.
It all depends on how the refid attribute is processed, and whether
or not it allows for variable expansion (ie. expanding "${filesetid}"
into "abc").
